What Every New Motorcycle Owner Should Know About Motorcycle Tires
Motorcycles are huge fun. Nothing beats the excitement of handling your first and cruising on smooth highways or rough terrain depending on your preference. All motorcycle riders may be experts in everything motorcycle for instance, handling, specs, speed and such. However, the significance of motorcycle tires may well be forgotten by many riders and bike salesmen. Here, you will learn everything about motorcycle tires.
Size
Motorcycle tires come in different sizes for different types and uses of bikes. Rear tires tend to be bigger than front tires to provide equilibrium. Street bikes, for example, use bigger tires compared to dirt bikes or even on-road/off-road bikes to provide great cornering angles and good grip,surface conditions notwithstanding. Consult your brand retailer for more information, or visit the manufacturer's website to get these details.

Prepare Your Motorcycle for Winter
Winter motorcycle preparation is important to help keep your motorbike running in tip top condition through the winter months. Don't get caught short, here is a list of thing to check and do before winter hits.
Coolant
Fill the system with anti-freeze to protect your bike. If water alone is used, this can cause extensive and expensive damage as it freezes and expands. If the liquid in the system is clear, it most likely doesn't contain any anti- freeze at all, if you're not sure about its contents, flush the system and refill.
Tyres
As we all know slippery roads require more grip and good tyres are essential for winter riding. Purchasing tyres that designed specifically for winter weather is always a good idea, to prevent your bike from slipping and giving the best road performance. Checking tyre pressure is essential as under inflated tyres can affect your bikes handling significantly.

Making a Motorcycle Helmet Cam Work for You!
If you've ever watched any motor sports you know that the teams, drivers, or riders will review footage of their races and practices to see where they can improve. In recent years this has been taken to the next level for dirt bike and motorcycle riders. The riders can strap on helmet cams and literally relive their race to see where they made mistakes, or where they could have made better choices. The pros will do this to pick up a tenth of a second per lap sometimes. They can see very minor mistakes or better lines that make them a better rider or give them a faster lap. A motorcycle helmet cam can make YOU a better rider too!
When it comes to motorcycle riding, we are an obsessed bunch. That should be the case for improving our skills as a rider also! A helmet camera can help us do just that. Take for instance a dirt bike rider on a trail ride through the woods. There's going to be lots of obstacles to traverse and a number of line choices. With you camera rolling, you get to review your ride back at home. Sure the camera gets to capture the ride and some scenery but it's also capturing more. It can show you what you're doing right, and what you are doing wrong. While riding you have to make split second decisions about what line to take, or how to traverse or avoid an obstacle. Sometimes we make the right choice, sometimes the wrong. Reviewing footage of a ride can help you to hone those skills and be better prepared for the next time.

Motorcycles And Life
The other morning I was riding my motorcycle to work, as I do every day I can, and I was thinking about how much my ride to work resembles life. Yes, I have lots of time to think during my hour ride to work and hour and a half ride home every day with just me in my helmet... no cell phones, no calls, no emails, no texts... completely disconnected from technology... completely disconnected from everything except my thoughts.
My ride to work isn't necessarily the most difficult, but there are moments where I wish the road was smoother, the hills weren't so steep, or there weren't so many obstacles in my path... just as in life.
Hills: We all face ups and downs in life. Some feel like mountains, while others feel like small hills. As I was going up one particularly steep hill I found myself coaching my motorcycle saying, "Come on girl, we both know you can take this hill. We've got this!" First of all, yes, I was talking to my bike... what rational, sane human being doesn't talk to inanimate objects? Second, we do this in life, too... at least we should. We need coaching from others, but more importantly, we need coaching from ourselves to get us over these mountains and hills.

10 Tips for a Routine Motorcycle Inspection
Our bikes carry the most precious cargo there is - us. Taking time for a routine inspection can make a big difference when it comes to safety and our enjoyment of the ride. No one wants to be stranded on the side of the road, or have an accident because of mechanical failure.
We know that we're vulnerable on the road and that riding a motorcycle carries risk. We can do a lot to lesson that risk by making both we and our bikes are fit and ready to ride.
Pre-ride inspections confirm they're worthy to carry us; checking them post-ride will catch any parts that may have come loose and we'll be able to note minor changes before they become major problems.
Your best resource is your owner's manual. Make these items part of your regular checks:
Tires:
Pressure: Measure when tires are cold. Both the tire and motorcycle manufacturer will have specifications and in all likelihood, front and rear tires will be different.
Tread: If you're down to the wear bars, it's time for new tires. Look for worn tread, uneven wear, cracks, bulges, cupping, and any foreign objects. The photo shows something we found at one of our workshops.
Spokes: Uniformly tight and intact; they can be tightened with a spoke wrench. Rims need to be true with no dents.
Drive System: Unless it's electric, your bike will have either a chain, belt drive or drive shaft. Make sure chain tension is correct and that it's well lubricated. Check drive belt for wear and tension; if you have a shaft drive, check fluid levels and that there are no leaks.
Cables & hoses: No fraying or kinking; no binding when handlebars are activated.
Fluid levels: Oil, brake fluid, transmission, and coolant. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct way to assess. Make sure there are no leaks.
Lights and electrics: Activate brake light with front and rear brakes independently; check front and rear indicators, horn, headlights - high and low beams.
Throttle: Should snap back to home position.
Brakes: - check brake pads for wear periodically. Test both front and rear to make sure they're working satisfactorily.
Side stand: Retracts firmly: no bending, cracks or damage; the spring is intact and the cut-out switch functions.
Clutch and brake levers: Smooth operation, correct amount of free play and proper adjustment.
Bonus: Look in the mirror. Make sure that you are physically, mentally and emotionally fit to ride.

Motorcycle Chain Maintenance - Chain Cleaning
Before I bought my first motorcycle I remember being a little hesitant about buying a bike with chain drive as I thought the maintenance would be too excessive. Being a newbie I went to one of my buddies who has had motorcycles since he was in his early teens. He laughed and told me he had never owned a bike with anything but, and that my concerns were groundless. He was absolutely right.
Chains are great for a few reasons. They are simple to maintain and cheap and easy to repair. They are light, much lighter than shafts, and introduce no changes to the handling of the motorcycle. Ever wonder why all the top sport bikes use chain? While belts and shafts are also excellent in their low maintenance and clean operation, they are either costlier or heavier.
What is required to maintain your chain? Ideally using a center stand or a paddock stand to get the rear wheel off the ground makes the job much easier. However, a long straight and level surface where you can move the motorcycle to get the chain to go one lap around the sprocket will also suffice in a pinch.
